Visualization techniques for 3D vector fields: an application to electrostatic fields of molecules

摘要

In chemistry, computer graphics is now well established as a tool to interpret simulation results, since molecules are complicated in their structures and mutual interactions. An a probe to study such molecular interactions, electrostatic fields are considered to be useful. However, since they are given as 3D vector fields having cusps I the fields, conventional Drawing techniques are not applicable. In this article, two new approaches are presented To visualize the electrostatic fields of molecules.
